Is it possible to point an SVN Externals directive at a CVS repository?

A:
No, it is not possible.
SVN externals simply does an checkout or update on the repository path you give it. Which doesn't support CVS.
The only thing you should point at CVS is a gun.. or cvs2svn. Long live SVN!

Thanks, the issue here was that I'd like to link to someone else's CVS repository from my SVN repository, not that I love CVS.

Yes I understand, we sometimes have to live with old technologies. I just wanted to throw a zinger at CVS. Your best bet is probably to just have a batch file or shell script you can double click to do a check out or update of cvs repo with
